Just the Difference.

Tho American Aoriculiurist has just issued
an Illustrated supplement bearing as Its
motto the following extract from the inau-
gural message Of President GARFIELD:
"As the Government lights coasts for the proteo-
ton of mariners and the benefit Of commerce. It
should give to the ters OF tho soil the ghs Of prao-
teal science and experience"
This illustrates the fundamental difference
between the Democracy and the Republicans.
The Constitution Of the United States en-
powers Congress, that Is to say. the Govern
ment "to regulate commerce with foreign
nations" Under this provision the light
house system is established, and lights are
placed along the coasts for the protection Of
mariners and the benefit of commerce.
But the Constitution nowhere authorizes
Congress to engage in the promotion of
agriculture, or to give to the tillers Of the
soil 1.-THE lights Of practical science and e1-
perience." The Federal Government has no
authority to do anything Of that kind.
The Republicans. however, wish to extend
the power and the interference of the Fed
eral Government. 80 that 1t may engage in
the science and experience Of agriculture,
and of pretty much everything else.
That Is the vital difference between them.
The Republicans desire to enlarge the central
power, while the theory Of the Democracy is
to restrict It. The one party aims at great
and splendid Government; the other at the
production Of independent, self-helping, and
self-defending citizens.

An Unlimited Elephant Land.

Two tons OF ivory. shipped by tho SANFORD
exploring expedition from its station at Kin
shassa, on Stanley Pool, reached Europe g
few weeks ago. It was American enterprise
that ten years ago revealed the course Of the
Congo to the world. To-day company or
ganized and largely directed by Americans
is among the first to display In Europe prod
ucts Of the Upper Congo which It's own
agents have forwarded from their stations
beyond the cataract region, In the far interior
Five years ago STANLEY bought the first
ivory purchased by q white man on tho Up
per Congo. The property which he obtained
for few handkerchiefs cost him seven and
q half pence pound, and was worth In Lon
don from eight to eleven lshillings o pound.
At that time tribes were found along the
river banks that had not tho slightest notion
that ivory possessed any commercial value
Perhaps there are now no natives In the
Congo basin who are 30 wofully behind the
times. though ivory may still be bought for
o song along the Kassai River.
There Is now no doubt that STANLEY
underestimated the ivory-produolng pros
poets OF the Congo basin when he wrote In
his last book that there we're probably only
about 100000 elephants there. II was his
belief that India rubber and palm oil would
prove to be far ahead Of ivory In commercial
Importance. which he ranked as fifth among
Congo products. That was before the great
elephant hAuntS along the large southern
tgibutAEtss of the Fivsr had bSsa visiesa. 10

Witchcraft.

It Ia not surprising that no one seems to
understand the true inwardness OF the Re-
publican State ticket better than our es-
teemed Republican contemporary. the Syra-
oIss journal. 1t says:
"Ths Republican State ticket with the magic name of
GIANT at the head has carried alarm into the Demo
cratic camp"
This Republican campaign is certainly
suggestive of the black art. The party has
abandoned politics, and ventured upon the
trial of deathbed sentiment and supersti-
ton. It puts its trust In magic, and hopes
that departed ghost may beckon enough
voters into the Republican camp to carry
the election. And tho method of securing
such odd assistance was to put the eldest
son OF Gen. GRANT at the head OF the ticket.
1t Is strange that little superstition of
this sort should have so influenced the EN-
pire State Chiefs of the grand old party;
but that Is what made the ticket.

are becoming q little shaky. and begin
ming to sigh for the very weapon that is
being offered for their service. They cannot
themselves ask for strong government. That
would expose their hands, and warn Of the
men who are saving them the trouble OF
seeking It's protection. But they can wait;
and when the fools have given themselves
up, bound hand and foot by their own Devices
they can spring tho trap with touch 30
light that 1t will be hardly peroeptible.
It would be no great stretch OF tho imagi-
nation to conceive Of Grand Master Workman
PowDERLY himself, fugitive before de-
tachment OF Federal Railway Police, lodging
from cavern to cavern among the Allegha-
MES to escape the consequences Of untimely
publishing one Of those secret strike circu-
lars to the Knights Of Labor for which tho
Order has been lately 90 celebrated.

Preaching to the Masses.

The three hundred delegates TO tho Chris
Z tlan Workors' Convention, who have been
holding their sessions In the Broadway
Tabernacle during tho past four days, have
debated several very interesting questions
The most difficult OF all OF them, upon which
many delegates have spoken day after day,
was this ono How 10 ovangelizo tho masses.
The Rev. Mr.. COLLINS reported that
several Of tho schemes already adopted
by tho Christian Workers had failed,
and none OF tho now schemes that were
proposed seemed TO offer any better re-
suits. Tho hiring Of theological students
during their long summer vacation to act as
evangelizers In the cities, was favorite Idea
OF some delegates; other delegates held that
the vicious and wicked should be APP
preached through sermons to be delivered
In the churches on week days as well
o. sundays; others were In favor OF
flower and Bible misslons among the poor;
and yet others maintained that special
efforts should be made to carry the Gospel to
tho children. All tho delegates were bur-
dened with tho thought that, In order to
evangel!ze the masses, there must be more
preaching Of Christianity to them.
4 1t Is rather singular that the delegates
gave 90 little heed to tho evangelical influ-
.ence that would grow out Of the practising
Of Christianity by it's professors. We direct
their special attention to this neglected
thought, which may well become the subject
Of most interesting debate at the sessions Of
the Christian Workers In this city during
the next two or three days. II but
1.-THE, or tenth Of 1.-THE, Of the pro-
Tossing Christians of this city could In any
way DO led to practise truly the teach
ings of the Founder Of Christianity, and to
give proper emphssis to these features Of
HE and conduct which He emphasized the
wicked masses would soon know Of an evan
gelizing influence more powerful than the
preaching Of legions Of theological students
hired as evangelizess during their long sum-
tner vacation.

10 In this region that the elephant now exists,
1t L. believed, in greater numbers than In any
other part OF Africa. STANLEY thought that
the ivory trade would not be likely to last
more than twenty-five years after the Upper
Congo region was opened to commerce.
Later travellers like Sir FRANCIS DE WINToN
gay that 1t will take many years to clear the
country Of It's dead ivory alone, OF which
many Of the villages on the southern afiiu-
ents Of the Congo possess large supply.
They believe that for q long time ivory will
DO one Of the most important articles OF ex-
port from the Congo State.
One Of the six stations Of the SANFORD ex-
ploring expedition is at Equatorville, only a
short distance south Of the mouth Of the
Loulongo River, recently assembled by the
American missionary MCKITrRIcK, who
found many very populous towns, and
says the natives are eager to sell their
largo accumulations Of ivory. The SAM
FORD company's steamer Florida, whose
hull was used as tow in STANLEY's fotilla,
returned to Stanley Pool carly In July, where
abe was at once equipped with her machin-
cry, and in all probability she Is now In the
great elephant region Of tho Kassai and Lu-
lua Rivers, where at Luebo one Of the COM
pany's stations is to be established.
Though STANLEY said the Upper Congo
would not be worth penny to commerce
until a railroad was built around the cata-
racts, the white traders at Stanley Pool are
finding 1t profitable to transport their ivory
to tidewater on the shoulders Of native
porters. They recognize, however, that
railroad would greatly facilitate their enter
prises, and are giving substantial encourage
ment to the party Of engineers who are now
making preliminary studies preparatory to
fixing upon route for the steam highway
that Is to link the Upper Congo with the sea.

Reasons for Net Taking Mr.. Cleveland
Again.
To THE EDITOR OF TH suN-Sn: It was
lately reported BY the sometime vigorous and
valiant and always interesting editor in chief
Of Kentucky. that tho President Of the United
States answered demonstrating N. @. by
the query: II he hadn't done pretty well,

"Oh yes," II the interlocutor had thought Of
more than the Chief Executive was thinking
Of himself.

none can question his temerity when remem-
boring his courage and bravery when even
the chief authorities Of tho country violently
usurped the same high ofice when 1t belonged
to the people and their duly chosen representa-
tive. But alas for the present white feather
Of the sometime chivalrous Kentucky leader
compared with his former reports and re-
proaches.
What the President meant by askinR II he

A Wonderful Battle.

The battle between the various labor par
ties In this State Is waxing. There are three
OF them In full sight, fourth has squeaked
once, and fifth stands In the shadow with
It's finger alongside its nose. Here is the
Union Labor party; next comes the United
Labor, then the Progressive Labor, and
finally the Greenback Labor. The first Is a
conglomorate of the ancient squads Of
reformers; the second is made up OF ground
tax crusaders; the third takes In trades
unionists Of radical procllvities; and the
fourth crawls aloof under the weather-beaten
signboard Of the aged yet still useful green
back. The Union Laborers boast Of their votes
In the rural districts; the Progressive Labor
ers and United Laborers are mostly massed
In this city; and the Greenback Laborers may
be discerned along the wayside, few In num-
Der but stiff In the faith. The Union Labor
platform smacks strongly Of socialism; the
United Labor platform has Georgism as
the foremost plank Of Its bald socialism; the
Progressive Labor platform Is the most
elaborate in It's socialism, and the Greenback
Labor platform has but q single plank Of
socialism, which, however. Is alleged to be
big enough for all creation. Outside Of all these
ID Llo 6AuOu-puIo ooCiesAioIAC AopOh PeAACyb
which does not this year show itself in poll
tics as a separate body for the campaign.
The United Laborers and the Union Labor
ers faunt their rival State tickets In each
others faces; the Progressive Laborers will
next Wednesday hoist yet another State
ticket, and the Greenback Laborers are pre-
pairing to come out, as In other years, with
their own exclusive State ticket printed
at Albany for private circulation. Thus
the diversified voters Of all colors of 30
cialism-the Greenback or green Social
ists. the Progressive or red Socialists, the
United or drab Socialists, and the Union or
polychromatic Socialists-can all find plat
forms and candidates to match their minds,
at any hour Of the day or night.
The way In which these clashing Labor
parties spiHicate each other at their meet
ings and in their papers strikes one cold,
unless he is accustomed to it, Up to recent
time it was the United Laborers against the
Union Laborers, and they bearded each
other regardless Of consequences; but now
the railing Is between the Progressive
Laborers and the United Laborers, both OF
whom turn whitening glance, once Of a
while, upon the Greenback Laborers. It
seems at times as though the combstants
were raving crazy. The hackneyed language
Of rancor, and the ordinary accusations Of
turpitude are outdone In the strife that
RACES among them; and all classes Of po-
litical Laborers will no doubt feel better after
1t Is all brought to an end.

party does not flll the bill. Yet at time
when new parties seem to be springing up
every week, and when tho old ones are still
90 evenly balanced In tho critical Statee, 1t
may happen that party which can COM
mand even handful Of votes, may have an
important effect upon the Presidential cleo
ton. But 1t Ia from Chicago rather than
from Philadelphia that an American party
OF weight might DO looked for.
